Like everything else in the Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All realm 'The OF Tape Vol. 2' is misleading from the get go. Despite its sequel suggesting title and budget album cover this the Los Angeles shock-rap crew's first proper full release since they got signed.It's true that 'Channel: ORANGE' deservedly got a lot of attention [...] The post Cougar Microbes Top Albums of 2012: Odd Future - The OF Tape Vol. 2 appeared first on Cougar Microbes .

photo & coverage by Alex Ramirez My friend who is an avid fan of OFWGKTA warned me about going to one of their shows. “Their shows get extremely crazy, man, and the fact that the White Rabbit is a small venue and has no barricade means it’s going to be absolutely insane.” Somehow, I thought it still wouldn’t get that crazy; I was extremely wrong.

Even though MTV doesn't really play them anymore, music videos have had a strong resurgence these past few years thanks primarily to services like YouTube and Vimeo. In addition to monetizing their visual content, artists have been able to reach and therefore gain more fans through a medium thought to have killed the radio star. It has also led to some huge leaps in technology as seen in Chairlift's incredible video for "Met Before". Director Jordan Fish and his team essentially allowed the viewer to choose their own adventure (remember those books?) and create a new experience each time [...]

EARL SWEATSHIRT has been flying under the radar for a bit but he’s hollered right on back with promo track ‘Chum’ off his upcoming debut EP. Earl laces a personal story of broken families and identity confusion with a melancholy drawl loading on the weight of his words. It’s a hypnotic listen with the steady lyrics rolling over scattered beats and keyboard loop. There are the deep raspy vocals and home grown fuzzy bass of early OFWGKTA tracks, as well as classic talk of spliffs, [...]

In By The Numbers, FADER looks at a big record release and breaks it down in basic digits. This week, we're actually taking on two: Trash Talk's 119 and MellowHype's Numbers, which dropped simultaneously this ... read more �

With the recent release of DJ Drama's Quality Street Music , we (finally) got to hear what happens when Waka Flocka and Tyler, the Creator link up " I'ma Hata ." There was quite a bit of commentary regarding how well Tyler meshed with Drama and Waka. We'd known Tyler was a fan of Waka for a while now, but the resulting song had us asking: does that appreciation make for a great pairing? How does the Odd Future camp, who collaborates internally more often than with artists outside of their circle, stack [...]

Odd Future A$AP Mob Black Hippy Pro Era The Rebirth Of The Hip Hop Group Since Odd Future blew up last year they’ve been all over the music world’s radar. Some love them and others hate them but one thing both sides can’t deny is Hip-Hop groups are finally back for good. For the constant dialogue that surrounds Odd Future, it’s upsetting how much of it only covers [...]

Shortly after dropping the first part , Noisey comes through with next part of their documentary following Odd Future through New York City. This time around, we get some concert footage from Frank Ocean at Terminal 5, Trash Talk going wild at a show of their own, and a bunch of other random antics. It is tough to imagine how big these guys got in such a short time, but they have somehow managed to do it. Not only that, but they only seem to be grower faster and stronger than ever. Watch the second part of the documentary [...]

Yeah, I couldn't believe it either. While Kendrick Lamar and Frank Ocean being on the same track is crazy enough, who would have thought it would be by way of feature on the track of a relatively unknown artist. But thanks to a confirmation tweet from Kendrick, which you can see below, it appears that this is an official piece of music that was intentionally leaked to the public. This was in contradiction with the report of the song being a fake just a few hours earlier. It sounds unmastered, but totally worth a [...]

Frank Ocean + Tyler, the Creator :: Øyafestivalen 2012 Over the last week, some of the best artists in the world converged in Oslo, Norway, to play Øyafestivalen , the greenest festival in Europe, and from the looks of Faith Silva 's gorgeous photos, the chillest, most relaxed festival anywhere. Check out Faith's dreamy pics - featuring Chromatics, Jessie Ware, Frank Ocean, Feist, John Maus, Purity Ring, Tyler, the Creator, Lee Scratch Perry, Best Coast, Yelawolf, Holy Other + more, all shot on The Impossible Project 's [...]

Earl Sweatshirt shared some exciting news via Twitter (which appears to be the current forum for breaking news) yesterday: the features on his highly-anticipated follow-up album to EARL . Those listed in the series of tweets were Tyler, The Creator, Frank Ocean, Domo Genesis, and The Internet, as well as Pharrell, The Neptunes, Casey Veggies, The Alchemist, BADBADNOTGOOD, Thundercat, Vince Staples, Ommas Keith, Christian Rich, and Samiyam. What do you think of this star-studded line-up? ( Complex )

Frank Ocean  put on an incredible performance this Thursday, July 26th, at Terminal 5 in NYC. Usually, the venue itself bums me out because a lot of times sound gets swallowed, although I have had some wonderful experiences there (namely  Animal Collective   and  A-Trak ). Despite this, though, Frank Ocean conquered all doubts. Ocean chose perhaps the classiest approach to his show; no opener, on at 9:00pm and not a minute after. His voice was, quite literally, [...]

It must've been tough for Frank Ocean to come out as a bagelphile. Looks like it hasn't hurt album sales, with channel ORANGE holding strong at #4 on Billboard behind Nas, Zach Brown Band & Kidz Bop Volume 22. Odd Future's invading New York tonight with EarlWolf, Frank and Trash Talk each doing performing at separate venues. via MTV Video: Tyler, The Creator & Earl Sweatshirt [...]

What did you expect from Odd Future? Did you think they were actually going to sit down, put on straight faces, and speak seriously about Frank Ocean's recent coming out letter ? Highly unlikely. Instead, they flip this interview into a comedy skit, pretending that  Frank Ocean has just admitted that he loves bagels. Watch as Tyler and Earl go back and forth about finding out that after years of denying his love for bagels, Frank finally comes out and says it: "Yeah, I like bagels." [...]

As tender, and loveable, and loving, and momentarily harrowing if thoroughly heartfelt as Frank Ocean's TextEdit splurging of soul may be deemed (it subjectively appeared a rather damning indictment of our modern-day modus vivendi that such honest human emotion be conveyed digitally) it'd not only be lamentable were his coming out to coincide with the release of channel ORANGE the most widely reviewed outcome of this, the début but moreover deplorable on our behalf were we to fine-tooth through the ins and outs of the young man's sexuality. For if this [...]

It's a big news day on the Odd Future front, and that's not even counting Frank Ocean's cover of Prince or his remarkable album sales . First, Tyler the Creator has finally released his collaboration with Toro Y Moi' s Chaz Bundick. On Odd Future's blog , Tyler described the track as "Unfinished Tune By Tyler And Toro Y Moi That Got Out Somehow Called 'Hey You'. Enjoy! Summmmmaa Taaammm! Listen to it below. Also today, Odd Future Records detailed its upcoming release [...]
